They sound fantastic, but ultimately, I would be happy with hearing, and living, with the music. Even if I didn&#39;t have a little piece of Kristin. </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/speedbath#post-2409 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 19:05:52 +0000 firepile 2409@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>I&#39;m already coveting one of these so badly I can taste it.</p> <p>As someone who really dislikes downloading anything because it seems so ephemeral and unreal, I find art sets and special editions that are lovingly compiled to be the pinnacle of physical music media.</p> <p>I agree with Alistair that this sounds so much like the Lonely is an Eyesore mega-limited box (that I still long for 20 years after the fact). I love that Kristin and co. have found another way to make us feel immediately connected in a physical way to the person on the other side of the music. </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/speedbath#post-2408 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 17:56:44 +0000 Pegasus 2408@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>Billy,</p> <p>Thanks for the full update!</p> <p>The deluxe box sounds fascinating! Oh, and just in case I get hold of one, please include the CD as planned! (Beestung&#39;s comments refer). I have now jettisoned my record deck so a CD-less version would be rather an indulgence! (And I don&#39;t like downloads very much!). </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/speedbath#post-2407 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 17:40:14 +0000 Egan 2407@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>Fantastic idea, hope I can get my hands on one! Thanks, Billy and Kristin, for putting so much effort into making something truly special for us. </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/speedbath#post-2406 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 17:32:31 +0000 beestung 2406@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>Billy,</p> <p>These boxes sound incredible, but can I make a suggestion? I&#39;ve noticed a trend in these deluxe sets lately to include the album(s) on multiple formats (the recent Pixies box set was the most absurd with the high end version including CD/DVD/Blu-ray and Vinyl all in one box. I&#39;m not sure why they didn&#39;t throw cassettes and mini-discs in there too).</p> <p>I&#39;d wager that anyone who would be interested in purchasing one of these Speedbath boxes is probably already a Strange Angel and will get a CD copy of the album anyway, so including the CD in the box in addition to the vinyl would be redundant.</p> <p>I don&#39;t mention this out of concern for what the boxes will cost us but for what they&#39;re going to cost you to produce, especially if you&#39;re only going to break even on them at best. If you can cut the CD and make a little more money (or lose a little less!) from the set, by all means do it.</p> <p>Vinyl really is the way to go with these special sets because if you&#39;re going to do a physical product in this day and age of mp3&#39;s, vinyl makes for a much nicer package than a CD. That&#39;s why I loved that you did Power + Light as a vinyl only release. The mp3&#39;s and flac&#39;s are free so if you need to burn yourself a CD you can. If you want a physical item for your collection you can get the vinyl.</p> <p>Looking forward to hearing more about this box...</p> <p>-Kevin S. </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/speedbath#post-2405 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 15:13:15 +0000 Alistair 2405@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>Wow! Sounds pretty stunning.</p> <p>Reminds me of the &#39;Lonely is an Eyesore&#39; very limited edition. Don&#39;t think I&#39;ve even seen so much as a picture of one of them, so hopefully I can get one of these....</p> <p>Tine&#39;s going to love the packing &amp; posting :o) </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/speedbath#post-2404 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 14:47:37 +0000 BillyO 2404@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>We&#39;re still working on the &#39;deluxe&#39; version - and it&#39;s almost done. Though, it might be more accurate to call it a collaborative art project - centered around <em>Speedbath</em>.</p> <p>We&#39;ve held the release of the record, pending the completion of the art project. Look for all the <em>Speedbath</em> stuff to be made available in late January...? I hope.</p> <p>The special project is going to consist of a hand-crafted mahogany box, fabricated and fitted by reknown fine art framer, our own <a href="http://www.themadframer.com/">Beth Hill</a>. The box alone will be an object of lust. It is a perfect piece of fetishy art all on its own. I&#39;ve seen a prototype and I know. For those of you who don&#39;t know Beth, do yourself a favor - click the link and read her <em>About</em> page. She&#39;s one impressive chick.</p> <p>The painter <a href="http://lindadurham.com/ArtistsIZ/yozosuzuki/tabid/347/Default.aspx">Yozo Suzuk</a>i is painting a portrait of Kristin for the project. Each box will contain a fine-art print of the portrait. But better than that, each box will also have one piece of the actual, original painting mounted on the lid. Each box owner will own a fraction of the original painting.</p> <p>Inside the box will be the portrait print, vinyl and CD editions of Speedbath, and some special <em>charged</em> items inserted by Kristin. Used guitar picks and strings, pieces of lyric sheets and notes from her notebook, things she&#39;s carried around in her pockets for days...elements of the actual human being who made the music. Every box will be truly one of a kind and we won&#39;t be making many.</p> <p>No, we haven&#39;t decided on a price yet - because we simply don&#39;t have a full picture of the costs at this time...suffice to say neither Beth, Yozo or Kristin are making these for the profits. The object of the exercise is to create something truly special, unique and personal and to see how that goes...</p> <p>If we take pre-orders at all, it will only be after the boxes are fabricated and all elements delivered. We will not tolerate delays after pre-order and neither should you. The 10-4&#39;s have been a serious life lesson for us.</p> <p>More later... </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/speedbath#post-2403 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 12:10:15 +0000 Pegasus 2403@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>Hi Billy,</p> <p>Sorry to be bumping this to the top again, but is there any firm(ish) date for the release of the album yet,please?</p> <p>Also, is the &quot;deluxe&quot; version of it still on the books or has that idea now been shelved?</p> <p>Regards, P. </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/speedbath#post-2140 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 16:17:49 +0000 BillyO 2140@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>@Pegasus - No, we think it'll be mastered in the next three weeks...finished copies will be imminent after that. </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/speedbath#post-2124 Wed, 15 Jul 2009 11:50:44 +0000 Pegasus 2124@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>Billy,</p> <p> As K still appears to be working on the "official" version of Speedbath, has the projected October release date now slipped? </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/speedbath#post-1888 Thu, 21 May 2009 22:30:42 +0000 jediroller 1888@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>Thanks Pegasus! I guess I was not quite up to date on this. </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/speedbath#post-1881 Wed, 20 May 2009 20:13:15 +0000 tony 1881@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>There's no need to feel guilty as the opportunities to donate are all here. How about signing up as a Strange Angel, then you will never feel guilty again.</p> <p>You may feel a little like a stalker who is given too much access to their victim, but hey, we all have our crosses to bear.</p> <p>The WIP's in the online store are essential. Oh and welcome to the board. </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/speedbath#post-1878 Wed, 20 May 2009 09:07:27 +0000 Pegasus 1878@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>Jed,</p> <p>Billy said on a post about two weeks ago that they are looking for an October release date for "Speedbath" - I think a "normal" and "deluxe" version if I'm not mistaken! </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/speedbath#post-1877 Wed, 20 May 2009 05:56:51 +0000 jediroller 1877@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>The CASH tracks can be considered as a "works in progress" version of <em>Speedbath</em>. Kristin has been busy re-recording the album and it's planned for released later this year (I think we've been told June, I don't know if it will be ready by then though?). She's indicated (on Twitter) that Fifty Foot Rob would be playing the drums on some of the tracks. I can't wait to hear that. </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/speedbath#post-1872 Tue, 19 May 2009 20:31:57 +0000 Harold 1872@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>Hello, I'm an idiot who has only recently discovered downloading.</p> <p>Is the wonderful "Speedbath" download album a forthcoming "official" Kristin Hersh release with spangly artwork and a retail price, or a CASH Music only statement about the power of the online commerce? </p> <p>I feel guilty downloading this material for free. Is the "donation" option a place I can go to pretend to buy the album instead?</p> <p>I should probably read more info on the website. Anyway, love the album. I'll also be at the Edinburgh show tomorrow. Ciao. </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/speedbath-cash-stems#post-766 Thu, 18 Dec 2008 23:49:33 +0000 sarahcryst 766@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>Will the current stems for Speedbath remain up once the next series of CASH tracks happens?</p> <p>Thanks! </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/speedbath-commercial-release#post-158 Sat, 25 Oct 2008 01:21:07 +0000 BillyO 158@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>@saracryst: Thanks for being so excited! The CASH versions will remain available and may even gain release in the "final" "commercial" version. And yes, converting to OGG is perfectly fine. </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/speedbath-commercial-release#post-156 Sat, 25 Oct 2008 00:44:10 +0000 sarahcryst 156@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>Sounds great! The CASH versions won't go away, right? (By that, I mean specifically - will they still be available/sharable under the same license?)</p> <p>(Another fiddly question. When sharing, is it ok to convert to .ogg? I don't *think* I read anything under the Creative Commons about that, and it's not all that different from remixing, but I thought I'd make sure before I went too crazy.)</p> <p>I'm excited. Really excited. </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/speedbath-commercial-release#post-150 Fri, 24 Oct 2008 23:55:53 +0000 conski 150@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>I have a new prediction: The March '09 release won't be named "Speedbath". </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/speedbath-commercial-release#post-125 Fri, 24 Oct 2008 00:08:24 +0000 BillyO 125@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>@sarahcryst: K honestly doesn't know at this point. It's possible that some will go on as they are - but also entirely possible that the CASH versions will be unique. She has some strong ideas about what she wants to do but hasn't finished the process yet.</p> <p>@maria: Interesting idea...but I'm not thinking that's in the cards.</p> <p>@conski: Hmmm...you may have something there. </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/speedbath-commercial-release#post-124 Fri, 24 Oct 2008 00:06:32 +0000 mikel 124@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>I believe Billy has said that it's not set in stone that all the songs we've heard thus far will be on the finished CD and that even the ones we've heard could/will be re-worked. I believe we're looking at March '09 release...? There's definitely a lot happening in the next 6 months between 50 Foot, Muses Down Under, Paradoxical shows, Shady Circle, and the next CASH projects (probably Muses songs!)... </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/speedbath-commercial-release#post-123 Thu, 23 Oct 2008 22:15:24 +0000 conski 123@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>I think it's going to be a really blues-y solo album.</p> <p>Full of mud and grit and unlike anything she's done before.</p> <p>I won't be surprised if the first few songs she released on CASH aren't in the final version ~ or are re-written/recorded entirely. </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/speedbath-commercial-release#post-121 Thu, 23 Oct 2008 20:58:32 +0000 maria 121@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>Good question. I keep getting this feeling that it could be a Muses record. Oh, did I say that?! Prolly shouldn't have. It's perfect the way it is...but I could see it the other way, too. What a "comeback" that would be. </p> http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/topic/speedbath-commercial-release#post-120 Thu, 23 Oct 2008 20:19:30 +0000 sarahcryst 120@http://www.kristinhersh.com/forum/ <p>Hi. First let me just reiterate how wonderful the Speedbath tracks are. Will all of them appear on the commercial release? </p>
